Microsoft starts selling Xbox One S in Brazil for $ 2,200 this Friday (22). The console is a compact version of the original and is up to 40% smaller than the traditional video game, in addition to replacing the black color with white and can be installed standing.

New control

The videogame comes with a new joystick in white color and different finish in two points:

• on the front, the button with the Xbox symbol now sits next to the front piece, which eliminates a gap that accumulated dirt;
• back, the control gains a texture, or "grip," which helps prevent it from slipping in the hands.

The joystick has up to twice the wireless range, according to Microsoft, and a Bluetooth sensor, which allows it to be used in devices compatible with technology - PCs and cell phones, for example. The new control will also be sold separately.

Lean body

In addition to having a smaller housing, the Xbox One S comes with built-in power supply, eliminating the clutter of the equation.

The new model also moved one of the USB ports from the side to the front of the video game and removed the exclusive entry for Kinect.

The Xbox One S is still compatible with the motion sensor, but you will now need to use an adapter to connect it.
